  2. DOMESTIC FLIGHTS

    KELANA DMC provides domestic flights within Indonesia at published fares in conjunction with the reservation of a land arrangement.

    Various local airlines apply a different approach to the reservation and final date of ticketing. Whenever you make a reservation for a flight, we will inform you about the specific guidelines of your booking to the best of our knowledge and as per available data provided by the airline. Failing to comply with the due payment dates attached to the reservation of domestic flights, might result in the loss of your reservation and/or a penalty, which KELANA DMC will automatically add to your bill.

    Payment of local flights will be required immediately in order to enable us to respect the ticketing deadline as imposed by the airline. Not observing a ticketing deadline, may result in the loss of the reservation and/or result in higher airfares. In case these conditions are not met, KELANA DMC will still hold reservations on domestic flights if required by the Client, but without any guarantee of availability.

    Under no circumstance KELANA DMC guarantees the fare of these domestic flights. Eventual increase of any booked or even paid ticket(s), as the result of a change in government policies or as the result of other factors, will automatically be transferred to the invoice of the Client.

    Additional notes on domestic flights

    Please take note that domestic flights and particularly flights to outlying Indonesian destinations such as Kalimantan, Flores, Sumba, Papua, and Timor among others are occasionally unreliable. It happens that schedules are changed without prior notice or at very short notice before departure. Occasionally these flights are cancelled. As a result the itinerary might change and additional charges will incur. As we are often not or only last minute notified of these changes, they are beyond our control. We will however work hard to keep the impact on the guest’s trip and the additional charges as small as possible. Hence, flexibility is a must if guests leave the beaten track and wish to travel to the more remote Indonesian destinations.

    It is essential that passengers take comprehensive personal and baggage travel insurance to cover any eventuality, including charges arising from any flight cancellations.

    Kelana DMC will not be held responsible, financially or otherwise, for additional charges or losses incurred as the result of above instances, involving the delay or cancellation of domestic flights.
